Tudou Joins Baidu Union
Donews, 2/26/09
Chinese online video sharing site Tudou has confirmed its entry into the Baidu Union, the online advertising network of Chinese Internet search engine Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU). The two parties plan to cooperate in the area of video search. Tudou previously used Google as its video search partner.
In the past Baidu had partnered with Youku for video search, but in December 2008, Youku, citing increased bandwidth costs caused by excessive traffic, blocked access to its site from Baidu searches.
